History
Founded in 2006 in response to residents’ concern about overdevelopment and its impact on Wyckoff’s quality of life, members of the Friends of Wyckoff have gathered nearly 4,000 signatures on petitions concerning quality-of-life issues. Among our accomplishments are:
- leading the campaign to establish of Wyckoff’s open space municipal trust fund, which qualifies our town for additional state, county and private grants for open space
- raising awareness of environmental issues including open space preservation, zoning ordinance enforcement, development, traffic, and stormwater management
- distributing more than 300 trees in the community
- working with local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to replace lost canopy trees on Wyckoff Avenue
- fundraising to pay for expert witnesses and legal advice regarding the Boulder Run and ravine projects
- organizing four educational seminars on the open space grant process, global warming, and energy conservation over the last year
- sponsoring training for citizens interested in serving on environmental and shade tree commissions
- organizing a successful electronics recycling drive
